Excerpt from The Graphic and Historical Illustrator: An Original Miscellany of Literary, Antiquarian, and Topographical Information, Embellished With One Hundred and Fifty Woodcuts IN the Prospectus originally issued for this Work, the purposes for which it was undertaken, were thus expressed. That antiquarian and topographical studies may be rendered far more popular than they have hitherto been - more attractive and interesting to the uninitiated, without becoming in such form unworthy the attention of those who have long pursued them there can be no doubt. Graphic Illustration has a charm for almost every one; and many who have, at first, been attracted by that alone, have insensibly acquired a relish for investigating and inquiring into the subjects thus introduced to them. From careless and casual inspection, they have been led on to make themselves acquainted with the history of the buildings and places they were shewn - to compare their former with their present state, to learn who were their founders or occupiers, and what events or traditions are connected with them; and, afterwards, to study whatever relates to the architecture, the state of art and literature, the manners, the habits, and the costume of former periods, - taking the term costume in its most liberal and comprehensive sense. Such collateral inquiries, if not indispensably necessary to the study of History, in the popular import of the word, are undoubtedly of extensive assistance, while they impart to it an additional charm, and confer on its scenes and actors that reality and those vivid colours, without which History itself either sinks into a dry chronological register of events, or imperceptibly transforms itself into philosophical discussion.
